I want to install Visual studio 2013 Ultimate, but an error message pops up saying:
You need a newer version of windows
After a little research about the known installation issues for VS2013, I updated to SP1 from the Microsoft website and installed IE10, but I am still unable to install it.
SOLUTION FOUNDED:
I have found the solution to my problem, simply by changing the Visual Studio installation File from the C (system drive) it was in the desktop, to the D (other stuff drive) and relaunching the installation again, magically the installation begins without any issues.
I have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate installed. I installed all tools listed here.
When I create a new project in Visual Studio, I don't see anything about Windows Phone or XNA anywhere. I've tried reinstalling the tools. I've tried doing devene.exe /InstallVSTemplates following this.
Am I missing something here?
Update: I did have VS2010 SP1 installed before I installed the WP7 developer tools.
I was able to fix this by doing the following:
Uninstall everything related to Visual Studio 2010
Install Visual Studio 2010
Install the WP7 developer tools
Install VS2010 SP1
What I found was, when installing the WP7 developer tools, if VS2010 SP1 is installed, the tools installer doesn't find VS2010 and the plugins/templates don't get installed.
If there is a way to fix this without doing a reinstall, I'd love to know.
I did in this way:
goto the folder Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Silverlight for Windows Phone\
change the name folder 1033 to 2052
ran devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates
start visual studio 2010, I found those templates are available but I got errors when try to create project form them .
So I changed the folder name back to 1033 and ran devenv.exe /InstallVSTemplates again.
Hi All,
I solve this problem as follows:
I'm creating a new project (silverlight for windows phone, for example) in Visual Studio Express.
Closing Express edition.
Open created project in my Ultimate edition! :)
I am having trouble getting x64 compilation to work on Windows 7 RTM (64-bit) with Visual Studio 2008 Professional (both with and without SP1). I have not installed the Windows 7 SDK, as Microsoft suggests might be the issue. The problem is that there are no x64/64-bit choices in the Configuration Manager of Visual Studio.
I do not have the "Microsoft Visual C++ Compilers 2008 Standard Edition" suggested in the link above installed on my computer. Any ideas what might fix this?
I have checked that I have the x64 compiler and tools installed with Visual Studio.
Solution found: Uninstall VS completely and reinstall. Issue resolved after SP1 installed (again). Very strange.
Are you using VS 2008 Express Edition?
You can add the x64 targets to the build configuration manually by downloading the Windows SDK (which include all the x64 compilers/linkers/libs/headers/... ) and following the instructions in this link:
http://jenshuebel.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/visual-c-2008-express-edition-and-64-bit-targets/
EDIT
Did you make sure to include the 64 bit toolset as part of the Visual Studio install? This toolset is an optional component that can be disabled during the initial install process. I believe you can add it back in by going through a Visual Studio repair process.
Original Answer
Are you using a clean windows 7 RTM install or did you upgrade from a previous version? There is at least one issue being reported by Visual Studio customers who upgraded an earlier build of Windows 7 to RTM.
Other, seemingly unrelated issue

I seem to be completely unable to install the Windows 7 SDK onto my machine, and the only solution I've found on the web is to make a swathe of registry changes. I've done this - still no success.
This is the reported error:
A problem occurred while installing selected Windows SDK components.
Installation of the "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7" product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information.
Please attempt to resolve the problem and then start Windows SDK setup again. If you continue to have problems with this issue, please visit the SDK team support page at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=130245.
Click the View Log button to review the installation log.
To exit, click Finish.
There is no Samples directory to refer too, and the SDK support team don't appear to live there any longer.
How do I fix this problem?
Microsoft now has a knowledge base article called Windows SDK Fails to Install with Return Code 5100 that describes this problem and its fix:
This issue occurs when you install the Windows 7 SDK on a computer that has a newer version of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installed. The Windows 7 SDK installs version 10.0.30319 of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable.
The error message is located in the log file, which can be opened through the View Log button in the installer. Otherwise, it can be found here: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp\ or %temp%. The log file is most likely called SDKSetup_7.xxxxx.log.
Solution: Uninstall any existing Visual C++ 2010 redistributable.
I just had this problem, and I looked at the solution at Ctrl+F5, Fix Problem Installing Windows SDK for Windows 7, but it didn't work.
I googled around and found the page Installing Visual C++ 2010 and Windows SDK for Windows 7: offline installer and installation troubleshooting and the advice there worked. Basically you could have one of several problems, and you have to look in the log file to see what's going on. In my log file I had:
6:17:07 PM Saturday, October 01, 2011: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Setup\SFX\vcredist_x64.exe installation failed with return code 5100
so as that above web page suggested, I uninstalled both copies of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package that I had (both x86 and x64), and then when I ran the Windows 7 SDK installer again, it worked.
Although you might have a different problem than me. Try the solutions at the Ctrl+F5 and patheticcockroach.com websites that I linked.
I hoped this helped!
All of these (and other) solutions have failed completely for me so I figured out another.
You need the offline installation package (mine was x64), and you need to manually install only the samples. Opening the ISO-file with, for example, 7-Zip from location Setup\WinSDKSamples_amd64 and running WinSDKSamples_amd64.msi did this for me.
Then you just use the normal setup file to REPAIR the installation and choose whatever components you wish.
You should really check the log. It seems that quite a few components can cause the Windows SDK installer to fail to install with this useless error message. For instance it could be the Visual C++ Redistributable Package as mentioned there.
I have had this same problem with the x64 version installation. It relates (in my case at least) to the dexplore.exe installation. I uninstalled dexplore, reinstalled it, did a heap of registry changes, etc. as per various blogs and SDKs all to no avail. What finally fixed it for me was editing this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\DisableBrowse
I changed the value to 0. Once the SDK had installed (quite happily this time) I set the value back to 1.
What alerted me to the possible error was the following in the SDK setup log:
12:19:42 PM Friday, 8 January 2010: SFX C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Setup\SFX\dexplore.exe installation started with log file C:\TEMP\Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7_dd2d9383-116d-441f-85b3-7c16aeb3568e_SFX.log
12:19:47 PM Friday, 8 January 2010: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Setup\SFX\dexplore.exe installation failed with return code 1625
And this in the dexplore installation logfile:
MSI (s) (E4:7C) [12:19:46:680]: Machine policy value 'DisableBrowse' is 1
MSI (s) (E4:7C) [12:19:46:680]: Adding new sources is not allowed.

I hope this is of assistance in your situation.
One of the things to also keep in mind is that when you have Visual Studio 2010 SP1 installed some C++ compilers and libraries may have been removed. There's been an update made available by Microsoft to make sure those are brought back to your system.
Install this update to restore the Visual C++ compilers and libraries
that may have been removed when Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1
(SP1) was installed. The compilers and libraries are part of the
Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit for Windows 7 and the .NET
Framework 4 (later referred to as the Windows SDK 7.1).
Also, when you read the VS2010 SP1 README you'll also notice that some notes have been made in regards to the Windows 7 SDK (See section 2.2.1) installation. It may be that one of these conditions may apply to you and therefore may need to uncheck the C++ compiler-checkbox as the SDK installer will attempt to install an older version of compilers ÓR you may need to uninstall VS2010 SP1 and re-run the SDK 7.1 installation, repair or modification.
Condition 1: If the Visual C++ Compilers checkbox is selected when the
Windows SDK 7.1 is installed, repaired, or modified after Visual
Studio 2010 SP1 has been installed, the error may be encountered and
some selected components may not be installed.
Workaround: Clear the Visual C++ Compilers checkbox before you run the
Windows SDK 7.1 installation, repair, or modification.
Condition 2: If the Visual C++ Compilers checkbox is selected when the
Windows SDK 7.1 is installed, repaired, or modified after Visual
Studio 2010 has been installed but Visual Studio 2010 SP1 has not been
uninstalled, the error may be encountered.
Workaround: Uninstall Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and then rerun the
Windows SDK 7.1 installation, repair, or modification.
However, even then I found that I still needed to uninstall any existing Visual C++ 2010 redistributables, as has been suggested by mgrandi.
I could never get the Windows 7 SDK to install either, and it suggested I remove the latest SDK and Visual Studio 2012 Express. That didn't work.
There was also something about .NET 3.5. I installed the Server 2008 SDK with .NET 3.5, uninstalled Visual Studio 2010 redistributables and made sure redistributables were unchecked in the installation options.
Also, you need the .NET 4 framework already installed, which you can download from Microsoft's site. Then it worked.
Uninstalling all C++ redistributables and unchecking the C++ option worked for me. Note that I have VS2010 SP1, and VS2012 installed already.
mgrandi provided a very good resource and answer. I followed similar guidelines and by removing 'leftover' components managed to solve the problem.
As a reference, take a look at Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 Release Notes.
This downloads the release notes of the SDK (you should also have it on your computer after trying to install the SDK), and in the section 'Installing and Uninstalling the Windows SDK' you can see that Microsoft recommend cleaning some mess after them.
I installed Visual Studio 2012 and installed Visual Studio 2010 service package 1 and tried installing the SDK again, and it worked. I don't know which of them solved the problem.
I'm having the same error as this "Windows 7 SDK installation failure":
After finding out, I've got the solution.
It may also happen that the SDK installation runs through with a "success" message at the end, but nothing was actually installed. The only way to really find out whether the SDK was installed is to check the respective directory. C:Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1 or C:Files (x 86) SDKs\Windows\v7.1. If the subdirectory "v 7.1" was created and has some content, the SDK was installed. The solution for this problem is the same as for the issue with the error message: Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (see below).
Resolution: Uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installations prior to Windows SDK installation.
Before the installation, I had the following Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installations. Note that the x 64 version is updated.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable x 64-Microsoft Corporation 10.0.40219 15.2 MB 10.0.40219
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable-x 86 10.0.30319 Microsoft Corporation 11.0 MB 10.0.30319
I'd like to add that removing the Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable may be necessary, too. I removed both the Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable x84 and x64 and then my installation worked.
Do you have access to a PC with Windows 7, or a PC with the SDK already installed?
If so, the easiest solution is to copy the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1 folder from the Windows 7 machine to the Windows 8 machine.
